A worrying weekend ahead.

What a relief! I was almost afraid to come to this thread tonight, so pleased that Baz came through the op alright, fingers crossed now for good test results.

All good wishes to Baz for a full recovery.

So pleased to hear you have him home Jane. He will settle after a good nights sleep I am sure. Love to Baz - you are doing well.

We're not due back at the vets till Thursday. I just hope he manages to keep the wound clean without irritating it by licking. He's still very agitated and confused poor thing.

Baz. ..... oops

Good to hear Bas has come through ok Jane10. Get those antibiotics!

Yes, I have to pay but where in the NHS can you ring at 8.30pm get an appointment within the hour with a doctor of your choice, have a blood test and the results phoned through to you within 6 hours? That’s my experience today re my dog.

Hope Baz feels better soon Jane ??

He's home and not the happiest bunny (not surprising as he's a cat). Pretty wobbly and confused. Due back on Thursday at 9am. I was a bit surprised that he wasn't given any antibiotics. Maybe another big bill for those?!
We were quite happy to pay whatever it would cost but were quite taken aback at the commercially minded vet's attitude. I suppose it makes me grateful for the nhs. Imagine having to agree and pay in advance for any treatment.

Sending every good wish for a good recovery!

Happy and relieved for you all. Fingers and toes crossed for good results.

Really good news Jane10 you must be so relieved. Hope Baz makes a full recovery.

Great news, Baz is a tough boy! Fingers crossed for best news for the results. He deserves some treaters now, any turkey left?

Great news. Come on Baz!

I too have only just seen this so relieved Baz has come through his op. I love Maine Coons. Fingers crossed for the results.

Well done Baz! Get well soon!

I've only just come to this thread. So pleased to see Baz has come through the op - what a worrying time you've had Jane. My best wishes to Baz for a full recovery and a good histology result that's reassuring for you.

Just seen this Jane10, what a relief to read he’s through the op. I’m a dog person but those American Coon cats are wonderful, a friend had one, full of character.
Hope Baz recovers x

I’m so relieved for you Jane

Whew!
Lives to fight another day!
That is lovely news Jane ??

Jane10. That is good news, now let’s hope for a full recovery x

Well he made it through the op! We're collecting him at 2.30. The lump will be sent for histology to see what it was. Fingers tightly crossed.
We had been braced I case his heart gave out under anaesthetic so phew phew phew!

Hugs Jane

Jane I’m so sorry to read your OP. I hope all goes well for Baz on Monday.

Jane10 I am so sorry , I hope Baz makes a full recovery, x

I keep looking at him and wondering if this time next week he won't be there. I found DD saying a special goodbye to him yesterday. I've scared myself silly reading about heart disease in Maine Coons. I know! But I can't help it. At least it confirms that investigations into heart problems in cats is aversive and unpleasant and that treatment can also be stressful for cats and ultimately unsuccessful. I'm glad DH is in complete agreement with me that we'll not be going down that road. He's had a happy relaxed life so far. Just hoping it can stay that way. Poor old boy.
